RM to TS Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
RM (RealMedia) powered the streaming-web era of the late 90s — countless archived webcasts and lectures are stored as RealAudio/RealVideo streams. TS recordings need conversion to MP4 before editing or sharing on normal platforms.
Because the whole conversion happens on your device, it is instant, unlimited and genuinely private — no accounts, no watermarks, no files on anyone's server. Multiple files are converted in one go.

About the RM format
RealMedia was the streaming web of 1998-2003: RealServer dialing 28.8k modems delivered real-time video through SureStream adaptive bitrate — a decade before HLS. Countless archived lectures, webcasts and early fan content live in .rm files, playable for years only inside RealPlayer.
ffmpeg decodes the RealVideo 1.0/2.0 and Cook audio codecs inside, so archived streams convert to MP4 — the only realistic way to keep that content watchable today.
+ Strengths
- ✓Historic streaming-web archive format
- ✓SureStream adaptive bitrate was ahead of its time
- ✓ffmpeg decodes the common variants
! Limitations
- −Low resolutions by modern standards
- −Newer RV40 streams may not decode
- −RealPlayer itself is discontinued
About the TS format
TS (MPEG Transport Stream) is the packetized format of broadcast television — DVB, ATSC, ISDB — and of AVCHD/Blu-ray camera segments. Fixed 188-byte packets make it resilient: a damaged broadcast moment corrupts one packet, not the file. That is exactly what broadcast needs and exactly why TS wastes bytes compared to MP4.
TS plays fine in VLC and other full-featured players but not in browsers or social platforms, so camera clips and recorded broadcasts end up converted to MP4 for anything beyond local viewing.
+ Strengths
- ✓Broadcast-grade resilience to transmission errors
- ✓Native format of TV capture and AVCHD cameras
! Limitations
- −No web or social platform support
- −Packet overhead inflates file size

Frequently asked questions
Is this RM to TS converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily conversion limits. The site is supported by advertising.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device — that is what makes it instant and private.
Does it work on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android?
Yes. Anything with a modern browser works: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. No software installation is required.
Is there a file size limit for RM to TS?
The only limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded. Files up to a few hundred megabytes work fine on a modern desktop browser; very large files simply take a little longer.
Will the audio track be kept?
Yes. The audio is carried over and re-encoded to the standard audio codec of TS, staying in sync with the video. If your RM file has multiple audio tracks, the first one is used.
Does converting RM to TS re-encode my video?
Yes. The video is decoded and re-encoded with the settings chosen by the quality slider, which is what allows the format and size to change. For an archival copy, keep higher quality; for sharing, lower quality gives a much smaller file.
